Council adopts committee assignments, bereavement leave and routine actions

The council approved multiple administrative items including committee assignments, a state‑mandated bereavement‑leave resolution and approval of prior meeting minutes.

The council reviewed and adopted a list of candidate appointments and liaison designations covering regional agencies (WFRC, COG), emergency management contacts, road maintenance and community events; the motion to adopt the list carried by voice vote.

On personnel policy, the council adopted Resolution R2026‑07 to provide paid bereavement leave (up to three days) for elected officials as required by state law; the city attorney explained the change is an unfunded state mandate and the council adopted the resolution by voice vote.

Council also approved the Feb. 17 meeting minutes by voice vote. Several agenda items were deferred to closed session and staff were instructed to return with draft ordinances and forms for records/GRAMA routing and other items.
